Print on Demand. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of nature and human connection through the eyes of an insightful vicar in this charming collection of essays. Originally penned in 1916 by a real-life clergyman, these poignant and evocative observations explore the profound beauty of the natural world and its ability to mirror the complexities of human life. From the antics of long-tailed tits and the song of the nightingale to the symbolism of the red-backed shrike, the author finds endless inspiration in the creatures and landscapes that surround his rural parish. Through his reflections, the author also explores the challenges of maintaining compassion and forgiveness in the face of human frailty, ultimately demonstrating that even in the most trying of times, the beauty of the natural world can offer solace and renewal. This collection invites readers to slow down, appreciate the wonders of the natural world, and rediscover the interconnectedness of all living things. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

- Childrens Fiction
In these pages, the author invites you into a Bramlingham parish where birdsong, gardens, and daily routines frame big questions. The narrator reflects on youth, marriage, and the art of seeing beauty in life, all told through small, precise moments—like a butterfly in the lane or a leaf-cutting bee at work. The voice is calm, observant, and gently humorous, drawing warmth from both living creatures and human ties.
- Rich, sensory scenes of English countryside and seasonal change
- Meditative reflections on family, art, and how we grow
- Subtle humor and moral inquiry threaded through everyday moments
- A portrait of a daughter discovering her talents amid quiet parental guidance
Ideal for readers who enjoy contemplative fiction told in a clear, accessible voice, with a strong sense of place and a thoughtful look at love, youth, and life’s small wonders.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
